Quadrilaterals & triangles

Here's the link to the homework -
Quadrilaterals & Triangles

I'd like you to fill in as much information as you can. Try and write a comment in each box, e.g. You might you like to put a trapezium has 1 pair of parallel sides or a square has two pairs of parallel sides.

Any problems, remember you can do a search on google, or use mymaths, or bbc bitesize, or comment here or email me.

Due in on Wednesday, you must contact me before Wednesday if you have any problems.

1) Write down five multiples of 14

2) Write down a multiple of 16 that you think no-one else in the class will write down

3) Is the number 89 prime?

4) Is 221 prime?

5) Can you list all the factors of 200? (use a factor clock)

6) Can you list all the factors of 78?

7) What is the lowest common multiple of 4 and 10?

8) What is the lowest common multiple of 6 and 27?

9) Find the prime factorisation of 400? (like 240 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5)

10) Find the prime factorisation of 176?

Any problems let me know
